Wentworth M. Johnson introduces readers to his truly unique character,
William Reyner, in the exciting first book of the Bill Reyner mystery
series, Fiend’s Gold. A harrowing adventure that combines lost legend with the allure of treasure hunting, Fiend’s Gold is the perfect introduction to Bill and his interesting life.

The
story begins with a legend; hundreds of years ago, the Fiend family, a
wild and unpredictable bunch, came into possession of a large stash of
gold. Located on a floundering ship, the vast amount of gold wasn’t
just bad luck to those on the ship; it brought nothing but sorrow to the
Fiend family, as well. Bandits, eager for a piece of the treasure, and
gold fever ended the Fiend family, but they managed to hide the
treasure before they all disappeared.

Many,
many years later, millionaire Edgar Reyner purchased the island rumored
to be the final home of Fiend’s gold. Another casualty of the hidden
treasure, he also died for his efforts, after gold fever and murderer
took him. In his will, he leaves the bulk of his estate to his lazy
nephew, Bill Reyner, an estate which also includes the island. After
becoming the heirs of the Reyner fortune, Bill and his grandmother set
off for the island, unaware of its legends and curses. Upon arriving,
they learn the old stories, and Bill makes the ill-fated decision to
hunt out the gold himself. When murder and chaos enter their lives,
Bill and his grandmother must face their unknown assailant alone, if
they ever want to find the vast fortune that is Fiend’s gold.

A
fun and exciting mystery adventure, readers will love the hapless Bill,
and will undoubtedly be eager to continue the series after journeying
into the wonderful world of Bill Reyner.
